Superstar DJ Erick Morillo will headline the first in a string of opening parties at Manchester's newest nightspot.

Promising to bring a slice of Ibiza's hedonistic nightlife to the city, Lazy Lizard launches in The Printworks on Wednesday December 6.

Columbian-American DJ and producer Morillo will get the party started on the opening night with a house and tech house set, supported by a line-up of Ibiza residents including Pete Gooding (Café Mambo), Oliver Lang (Bora Bora), Steve Valverde (Es Paradis) and E.M.A (featuring Girl on Sax).

Pete Gooding will be back the following night, December 7, to launch the club's weekly Thursday night party Future, which will feature weekly sets from some of the Balearic isle's best DJs alongside Lazy Lizard residents.
